This specifies the type of bus. 1~indicates an exclusively-owned
(tenured) bus (i.e.,~once ownership is acquired, the owner gets 100\%
of the bandwidth available until ownership is relinquished
voluntarily). 2~indicates a shared bus where multiple bulk transfers
are interleaved (i.e.,~each gets a fraction of the total bandwidth).

This specifies the type of arbitration used for exclusively-owned buses

(e.g.,~SCSI buses), wherein the order of attachment determines
priority (i.e.,~the first device attached has the highest priority).
2~indicates First-Come-First-Served (FCFS) arbitration, wherein bus
requests are satisfied in arrival order.
